Each pedal has a pot in it. The issue is wiring 2 pots together to essentially create one big pot where the left one pushed forwards sends a signal to the remote like the orig pot being pushed backwards (break) and the right one forwards triggers forwards on the gt2. I am sure there is a way to do it without a micro controller, but it would be the easiest way to do it. Plus I could adjust the sensitivity by changing a few numbers in the code. I have a few ideas in my head, now they just need to turn into a working item.

Actually, now that I think about it, are most pots analog or digital?
